BRITTANY FORCE & ERICA ENDERS Lead Strong Women’s Presence at NHRA Nationals

• Two-time Top Fuel champion BRITTANY FORCE is set to debut her Cornwell Quality Tools sponsorship at the U.S. Nationals, matching teammate Austin Prock’s successful paint scheme. Currently fifth in points with the Countdown approaching, Force is finding her consistency at exactly the right time, putting up big speeds all season with crew chiefs David Grubnic and John Collins.
• Six-time Pro Stock world champion ERICA ENDERS showed flashes of her championship form at Brainerd, benefiting from Elite Motorsports’ strategic car shuffle that put her back in her old ride. Her driving was noticeably sharper with reaction times of .021, .014, and .009 across three elimination rounds – some of her best lights all season, even though she fell short against Dallas Glenn in the semifinals.
• The women are positioned perfectly as the regular season winds down and playoff intensity ramps up. Force has a proven track record at the U.S. Nationals with a 2017 win and multiple runner-up finishes, while Enders and the resurgent Elite Motorsports team are clearly hitting their stride when it matters most. Both champions know how to peak for the Countdown.
